A Real Yuletide Bonus
The year-end holiday season is one of 1}he most dangerous periods of the yeiar, and accidents annually mar the celebration cf in thousands of homes. Traffic accident deaths
on both Christmas eve and Christmas day are about twice as
high a.s the annual daily average*. '
This year, with the holiday consisting of four days for
many persons, the toll could be even higher than the 351
traffic deaths reported during the four-day Christmas weekend last year.
Travel is especially heavy over long holidays, whicli encourage traditional family get-togethers even when members must drive considerable distances. The festive spirit
of the season, plus the normal winter hazards 6T bad weather, slippery roads and1 longer periods of darkness create
added danger.
For a safe and merry Christmas everyone is urged whether driving or walking, to,put 1)he Christmas spirit of "Good
will toward men" into practical use by being extra courte-
pus to others . . . and take your timei.
If streets are icy cr slippery, keep your speed down and
your cauticn up.
If you imbibe Christmas spirit in liquid form, stay away
from the steering wheel of a car.
Avoid home hazards, too. Don't use candies, be sure
tree lights and wiring are in good condition and keep gift
(Wrappings away from the fireplace or other source of heat.
If every mlotorist would observe this life savings plan
before and during holidays, he will receive a real yuletide
bonus . . .'of a human hTfe.
Hostility, Distrust, Dangerous
We have just been through the throws and alarms of a
Presidential election, and we shall have, come January, a
new president. The business community would be less than
human, I suppose, if it did nlot have hopes for a new era in
government relationships. Certainly all of us would join in
that wish, for hostility and distrust on each side have b-aen
a costly burden to the nation.
Tii ere are many arguments and pressing problems with
which we hope the new administuation will deal wisely and
well. Some of them are of a gravity and importance calling
for the most immediate attention. There ar*3 others of longer
range character, dealing with business relationships, controls, taxes and a host of others.
But there is one larg-ar and much more basic problem
that is inherent in all questions facing government today,
and particularly in considering the long-term aspects of our
nation?,! progress. It i.s a problem which is larger than any
single assu-:*, and is one that, more than any other, affects
our future prosperity.
How best can we preserve personal freedoms in face of
the needs and demands that app-aar to call for collective
rather than individual effort?
That is the problem of the ,-ige. That is the problem
tjhiat besets all cf the nations of the World. And if *w-3 here
in the United States can devise an intelligent answer, our
country will indeed show the highest type of world leadership. I am sure it is a problem to which the victorious candidate will address himself, and in that effort he should
have the' sympathy and piv,yers of each and -every one of
us.
Elimination of Red Influence
(In-some ch-cles, it is customary to pooh-pooh tiie efforts
,of.ithe=.incoming;Administraitipn to eliminate every vestage
oi-'Kfed influence in governmental circles. These people
]-iU/_e adopted the cl!osed-eye policy in this realm, choosing to
argue that none of the folks involved amount to anything
of conseauerasaflnd labeling the whole issue a "witch hunt".
of consequenmjgtnd labeling
Unfortunately, the facts reveal that many of the folks
who refuse to speak up and deny their alleged Communist affiliations held vitally important jobs in 'our government.
One of these men was in charge of military intelligence in
Soulth Africa during the war. Subsequently, 'he was the
second man in the Research Section of the Trusteeship Division of the UN. Another was once chief of tihe Yugoslav
Branch _f UNNRA. A third held the post of chief of the
UN Division of Economic Stability and Developement. Still
another is Secretary of tjhe International Monetary Fund
who has previously held ten United States jobs. He has refused to say whether lor not he is a Communist on the
grounds of self-incrimination.
Justl how people of this kind aould manage to get into
import-ant government jobs in our country and subsequently
move into top-level UN positions is scarcely a mystery to the
American people. The intellectual climate of Washington
drew these folks as molasse's draws flies.
• They will sdon know that tjhere has be.en a sudden
change in meterologiqal conditions in the Capital; and the
"flies" in the national ointment are disappearing.
The North Canton Rotary Club
will meet at Hol-QUerns Thursday evening, Becenilber 18, With
the Rotary An'hs.as their guests,
for a Christmas 'dinner party.
Mr. Glenn Schwerdt, student
assistant at the Zion Evangelical and Reformed Chureli, will
be Che evening's spfeaker. His
address will be on "The Coming
of the Messiah," and will deal
with the history of the Jewish
people during the three-to-four-
hundred year period between the
Old Testament and the New

WASHINGTON—At last I am
al"di- ti report some progress in
my eiloi't to'help free American
Indians irom the grasp of The
feilery; 'hureauerats.
On December 3rd I attended
a meeling of the special subcommittee to investigate the
Bureau of Indian Affairs, which
was so; up earlier this year as a
resui: of resolutions introduced
by Congressman Ells-worth of
Oregon and myself. At that time
the committee reviewed data
and reports submitted 'by the
Bhvuii in response to requests
we hud made.
Tii-- Bureau's replies were
voluminous, and I 'believe will
prove to be very helpful. All this
material must o'f course be stud-,
ied carefully in order that the
Congress can decide on the best
course to be taken in speeding
up the process of freeing all.
Indians from their present sta-.
Uis as wards of the federal government.
Three problems to be overcome if the Indian Bureau is to
be eliminated are '!> lack of
education, i'2i heirship status of
land and (3i settlement of treaties.
■t is generally agreed that
our Indian people cannot be
expected to fit into life off the
reservation unless they have
sufficient education to cope with
the many new problems they
would face. Unfortunately, 16
per cent or more than 21,000
Indian children between t h e
ages of 6 and 18 are receiving no
schooling at all.
The heirship problem has developed through the years as the
1 original Indian land owners
! have died . and rights to their
land have gone to their heirs.
Imagine 40 or 50 heirs having
fractional rights to a s m a 1 1
tract of land and you will understand how complicated any effort to operate, lease or sell the
property would be.
Ancient treaties are also a problem. For example, in the state
of New York the only remaining
activity of the Indian Bureau is
to make an annual payment of
$6,000 in interest and $4,500
■worth of cloth under provisions
cf. a treaty made in 1794 and an
act of Congress in 1831. Attempts
are now being made to reach
agreements in such cases whereby the government will make
lump sum payments in return
for the termination of the treat-
ir-s.
I arr. convinced that solutions
to each of these problems can
be found 'if a sincere effort is
marie, and I intend to do all I can
toward that end during the
S3rd Congress. As I have said
before, I believe that one of the
most powerful blows we 'could

WASHINGTON—At last I am
al"di- ti report some progress in
my eiloi't to'help free American
Indians irom the grasp of The
feilery; 'hureauerats.
On December 3rd I attended
a meeling of the special subcommittee to investigate the
Bureau of Indian Affairs, which
was so; up earlier this year as a
resui: of resolutions introduced
by Congressman Ells-worth of
Oregon and myself. At that time
the committee reviewed data
and reports submitted 'by the
Bhvuii in response to requests
we hud made.
Tii-- Bureau's replies were
voluminous, and I 'believe will
prove to be very helpful. All this
material must o'f course be stud-,
ied carefully in order that the
Congress can decide on the best
course to be taken in speeding
up the process of freeing all.
Indians from their present sta-.
Uis as wards of the federal government.
Three problems to be overcome if the Indian Bureau is to
be eliminated are '!> lack of
education, i'2i heirship status of
land and (3i settlement of treaties.
■t is generally agreed that
our Indian people cannot be
expected to fit into life off the
reservation unless they have
sufficient education to cope with
the many new problems they
would face. Unfortunately, 16
per cent or more than 21,000
Indian children between t h e
ages of 6 and 18 are receiving no
schooling at all.
The heirship problem has developed through the years as the
1 original Indian land owners
! have died . and rights to their
land have gone to their heirs.
Imagine 40 or 50 heirs having
fractional rights to a s m a 1 1
tract of land and you will understand how complicated any effort to operate, lease or sell the
property would be.
Ancient treaties are also a problem. For example, in the state
of New York the only remaining
activity of the Indian Bureau is
to make an annual payment of
$6,000 in interest and $4,500
■worth of cloth under provisions
cf. a treaty made in 1794 and an
act of Congress in 1831. Attempts
are now being made to reach
agreements in such cases whereby the government will make
lump sum payments in return
for the termination of the treat-
ir-s.
I arr. convinced that solutions
to each of these problems can
be found 'if a sincere effort is
marie, and I intend to do all I can
toward that end during the
S3rd Congress. As I have said
before, I believe that one of the
most powerful blows we 'could
